Hey,


Wut PSI do you guys have for you front tires? And the rear ones? I have ITP holeshot's and the max on them is 36 PSI. I'm pretty sure your not suppose to fill them all the way.

36 psi is only the max pressure for seating the bead when the tire is first put on the wheel.

i usually run 5 pounds all the way around.

If I can give you any advice , stick closer to the 4 than to the 5 ..
I had one Hell of a fall recently , which forced me to park the bike for 3 months .
I went riding out of sheer frustration the other day , and obviously had not Pumped the tyres for almost 3 months .To my surprise I had such a good ride , flat(ter) than usual tyres and all .

I have a suspicion that 6psi , which is what I was running front , was perhaps just a Liiiitle too hard for enduro use .
4.5 /5 should be just fine . I've learnt a good lesson out of letting the Bike stand for so long .

Thats just the way we Spell it !! lol tyres .... English Spelling , versus american. I often find subtle Differences When I do abc spelling check .Same damn thing though eh ?

This is weird : type in Bkt Tyre , and you'll be re-directed to bkt tires ... They even cater for both spellings ..
